8 Resume Tips For The Tech-Savvy Teacher - Edudemic | :: The 4th Era :: | Scoop.it

From the website

 

"Today’s classrooms may look similar in form to the classrooms of yesterday, but what’s happening in function is often a completely different story. Flipped learning, social media, iPads, educational technology, and collaborative learning are just a few of the ways our classrooms have changed in recent years, and teachers today will need to catch up to the new trends or risk being left behind. Teachers, we recommend that you add these important 21st century educator skills to your resume today."

Jim Lerman's insight:

This strikes me as very important and useful advice for educators all levels, pre-K-20.

The conclusions at the end make the article. We need to ensure that we choose the right tool for the learning context and the student or student involved.

Roundtable on Personalised Learning (through the BCASCD)

Roundtable on Personalised Learning (through the BCASCD) | :: The 4th Era :: | Scoop.it

"On Thursday, November 3rd, 2011, members of the Metro Vancouver education community from a range of perspectives met to address the big questions around Personalised Learning. As an organization, BCASCD promotes the exemplary practices in curriculum and develops leadership and professional capacity for the success of all learners. As such, a roundtable on Personalised Learning was held. The executive invited educators from a range of districts and on various pathways of their careers in education, including student-teachers, classroom teachers, district support teachers, vice-principals, principals, district principals, post-secondary teacher-educators, and senior administrators.

 

Four areas around Personalised Learning were discussed, with the intent of creating a working document demonstrating what Personalised Learning may look like at a class, school, district and provincial level."

 

These areas were:

> Stakeholders:  Who are they?  What are their needs?

> Competencies/skills/knowledge: What are the ‘must-haves’? What are the ‘would-like-to-haves’?

> Assessment/Reporting: How does Personalised Learning change reporting schedules, assessments (AFL) and student engagement;

> Structures: What are the environmental/space/time requirements.

 

Read about what ideas emerged from this roundtable discussion as British Columbia embarks on implementing personalised learning in their province.
